Tailored for Urban Dog Training

Your dog’s behavior is a reflection of its feelings and particular drives.
How does your dog behave?

A high score or a low score is neither good nor bad.
We simply want to assess your dog’s personality based on the four drives.
Look at it as an awareness test for yourself.
